Comparing the QS Asian University Rankings in 2020, it can be found that among the top 10 universities in Asia, three are from Hong Kong: The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Although the international reputation, influence, and quality of education of universities in Hong Kong and Macau are very high, their scores are not insurmountably high.

Compared to mainland universities, the scores of universities in Hong Kong and Macau with similar international rankings are much lower. The continuity of the education system and teaching models makes Hong Kong universities more recognized by American and European universities. The long-term cooperation between European and American universities and those in Hong Kong and Macau makes it easier for undergraduate students graduating from Hong Kong universities to apply for graduate programs at prestigious universities in Europe and America.

In terms of employment, which seems very important to another parent, Hong Kong universities also have a significant advantage. Currently, the employment rate of Hong Kong universities is generally over 90%, and most of the Fortune 500 companies have set up branches in Hong Kong. After graduation, students can go to work there, and the salaries of graduates from Hong Kong universities far exceed those from mainland universities, with a high proportion entering Fortune 500 companies.

As a major global international financial and business center, Hong Kong has a huge demand for talent, so students studying at Hong Kong universities do not need to worry too much about finding a job after graduation.
